Evergreen vine that grows at a moderate rate to 15' x 10'. Leaves are semievergreen and medium green in color. The veins on the leaf's undersides have reddish hairs, giving foilage a bronzy overtone. The flowers are non-showy and appear in summer. Will accept full sun to full shade. Allowing this vine to climb in trees provides an interesting effect. Native to the southwest U.S. and Mexico.
